 Bootstrapping jdk has always been an issue because it depends on
 non-free binary packages. Try to setup a package build cluster from
 scratch it won't work  because of openjdk.
 
 This solution is the easiest way to get openjdk6 without too much pain
 for the user. he will just have to portmaster java/openjdk6 or the way
 they usually install ports on there systems without being forced to
 install prebuilt dependencies or install non free software.
 
 with the old way it would have been pkg_add -r openjdk6 && make &&
 make deinstall reinstall.
 
 Sorry but I prefer a simple make install :)
 
 In my case I would love to see it in the ports.
